No one has come closer than Mark Lee Gardner to capturing their twin destinies and their inevitable final collision....you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. ”\u003cbr\u003e“A masterpiece! Mark Gardner’s dual biography of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett cuts through the myth to tell the real story of two real figures in the Wild West. Gardner’s scholarship is superb. This work can only be called a classic.”\u003cbr\u003e“Incredibly deep research combines with the talents of a fine historian and writer to produce superb narrative history. The true character and relationship of these two iconic westerners emerge to suppress myth and correct more than a century of tomes laden with bad history.”\u003cbr\u003e“Digging beneath the myths and melodrama, [Gardner] begins in Las Vegas during Christmas week, 1880, when the capture and confinement of Billy the Kid made national headlines... Gardner’s extensive research and authoritative approach ground this compelling historical recreation.”\u003cbr\u003e“As gripping as any thriller.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780061945694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"HarperLuxe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41057141096654,"sku":"9780061945694","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780061945694_dbe3eb5d-03b3-4694-a8fd-c6771bf46881.jpg?v=1652162043","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780061945694","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
